Hoskins Roche L Talbott 4

What Happened

• Hoskins Roche L. Talbott, a director of Electronic Arts Inc. (EA), was issued a 114-share derivative award in lieu of $21,250 of board cash compensation and immediately exercised the derivative into 114 common shares.
• The filing shows a grant (A) of 114 shares valued at $186.40 each (total $21,250) and an exercise/conversion (M) that resulted in acquisition of 114 shares at a reported value of $203.60 each (total $23,210). A separate M-line shows the derivative instrument was disposed at $0.00 — this reflects the option/derivative being converted, not a sale of underlying shares.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-02-02; Form filed: 2026-02-04 (timely, 2 days later).
• Grant: 114-share derivative issued in lieu of $21,250 board cash comp (noted in filing).
• Exercise: 114 shares acquired on exercise; total reported value $23,210.

Context

• This was a compensation-related transaction (director award and immediate exercise), not an open-market buy or sale. Compensation-driven exercises are common and do not necessarily signal the director’s market view.
• The “disposed” entry here documents the derivative instrument being converted on exercise; no sale of the underlying shares is shown.
